"What's the name of the little brother?"

"Looking back, a small fortune."

"Wangcai, not bad, good name."

......

In the stern compartment of the Fu boat, Xie Chushui and Xie Shisan, as well as two errand officers from Zhapu County, were surrounding a guy named Wangcai at the moment to watch him pack the express.

Wangcai, who smiled from the door, not only had quick hands and feet, but also had a clever mouth, and he replied while packing, and did not delay.

I saw him gently wrap a few letters into the furoshiki, and then put the cloth bag into the black wooden box, and then two pairs of Su Fang's satin cloth shoes were also pressed on the furoshiki. Next, Wangcai closed the wooden box, and then took out a pair of delicate small copper locks from his arms, after locking, Wangcai put the key away, and then pushed the black wooden box in front of Xie Chushui, and said with a smile: "When the head of the gang arrives on the ground, you can see the person who opened the box with the key." ”

"Well, it's easy to say, it's just that this package from Master Lu's house is going to be sent to Zhangzhou's mansion?"

"Oh, back to the Gang, it's the east of Zhangzhou City, Banzi Lane, and Liu Yushi's mansion."

"Banzi Alley? Know, know...... Well, Liu Yushi's mansion must be a big threshold. ”

"Don't tell you that my eldest lady is the sister of Liu Yushi, and she has to find someone to send her family letter back every year."

"Oh, I see, little brother, don't worry, the package will be delivered."

"Wangcai thanked the head of the gang on behalf of my eldest lady."

"Little brother is polite."

......

In the end, in mutual humility, Wangcai left Xie Gangshou a courier fee of 5 taels of silver, and watched with a smile as the black wooden box was put into the wooden cabinet in the stern compartment.

That's it. Wangcai and the two servants then took their leave and disembarked, and after the three of them walked out of Niutou Harbor, they continued on for more than three miles, and then got into a small boat moored in the river.

The boat drilled all the way along the water network extending in the south of the Yangtze River, and when it returned to the river wharf in front of the Moyun Temple, it was already the middle of the moon. Removing the two lanterns hanging on the bow of the boat, the three boatmen, who had long been dressed as ordinary people, walked slowly along the bluestone steps, and soon saw the closed mountain gate of Moyun Temple.

Holding up the lantern to illuminate his face, the three of them pushed open the small door that seemed to be unguarded, and went straight to the abbot's room behind the view, and Wangcai, who was the head, knocked lightly on the door a few times: "Master, we are back." ”

"Come in."

The room was bright, and a solar-powered antique lantern illuminated every corner of the house. Lu Cheng, who was wearing a robe and bare his belly, was sitting at the desk and looking at them with a smile.

"Master."

"Well, it's not too late to come back, and it seems that the mission is going well?"

"Yes, on time."

"Well, remember to hand in the report tomorrow."

"Got it."

"Alas, the layout is still too thin, and the resources are all bet here." When Lu Cheng said this, he pointed to his feet with his fingers, then got up and paced a few steps in the house, and sighed lightly: "For an action like today, theoretically, someone from Jiaxing should be dispatched nearby." A few of you seem to be going well, but it's actually a risk...... Time is tight, and it is very risky to chase after other people's butts to do a game. ”

Lu Cheng analyzed this, and the look on his face gradually became firm: "No, no matter how difficult it is, you have to take a step." Well, a few of you are ready to take turns to go to the big training recently. ”

Of course, Wangcai and they knew where the legendary master was, and at this moment, seeing that the master had made up his mind, the three of them nodded at the same time, but there was still a trace of apprehension in their eyes.

"Hehe, go and study hard, once the intelligence bureau comes out, it will be considered a teacher. When the time comes, we'll open a substation! Lu Cheng said while patting Wangcai's shoulder encouragingly: "Liu Wang, I'm optimistic about you, you must go to the kiln area over there to have a good look, after reading it, you will know how strong our strength is!" ”

......

Wangcai's real name is Liu Wang.

Before crossing the crowd to seize the beggar gang, Liu Wang, who was the partner of Mingxianglou at the time, was first designed by some people, and finally Liu Wang was forced to take action under coercion and lure, and killed Zhu Zheng, an official of Renhe County, with ricin, so that the plan to cross the crowd to seize the beggar gang was guaranteed from the side.

Liu Wang got a silver reward afterwards, and at the same time resigned from the Mingxiang Pavilion: the traversal naturally would not let anyone who knew who the real culprit was behind the scenes wander on the street, so Liu Wang was arranged to go to Tangzhuang to do chores.

After seeing the mysteries of the traverser up close, the carefree young man became interested, scurrying around the pond every day, and twice he almost ran into the back garden.

Well, it's good to be interested, so the little comrade was finally arranged to Moyunguan and became the apprentice of Lu Cheng, the first head of Jiangnan Station, from a young man who was not deeply involved in the world, to a determined thief.

The above is Liu Wang's story.

......

The dark cabin was sweltering and cramped, and a figure was sleeping in a hammock. Accompanied by the reminder of the body's biological clock, the habit developed over the years made the sleeper's voice softer, and the next moment, he woke up.

With a slight touch of his right hand on the side of the bed, the short-bladed Tang knife that could not leave his body was held in the palm of his hand, and Chen Huoding slowly opened his eyes.

Lifting the Rolex yacht on his left wrist, the blue luminous dial showed that it was noon, so Chen Huoding turned over and gently got off the ground, groped in the dark and put on a patched jacket, and walked out of the cabin barefoot.

Suddenly walked from under the cabin to the deck, the hot midday sun made him squint his eyes, and he put his hand on the pergola to look around, and Chen Erye walked towards the stern cabin.

The sand ship "Debang" is anchored in a small bay on Zhoushan Island at the moment.

Zhoushan Island was still very prosperous more than 100 years ago, that is, during the Jiajing period. Located on the west side of Zhoushan Island and facing Ningbo, Shuangyu Port was the largest maritime smuggling trade base in Asia in the 16th century. The smuggling syndicate headed by the maritime merchant Wang Zhi, together with the Portuguese and the Japanese, wantonly used Shuangyu Port as a base to carry out trade with the mainland, and the scene was very hot.

After that, the classic "forbidden sea" project of the imperial court was opened.

The script is very old-fashioned: the government booby-trapped Wang Zhi, banned the sea, and then took the coastal Chinese merchants as the main force, and the "Japanese rebellion" with the Japanese people as white gloves officially began, and the imperial court then began to move the border and ban the sea, and organize the army to conquer the east and west......

Naturally, there is an indispensable story of Grandpa Qi's anti-Japanese war.

However, the irony is that in the end, it was not Qi Jiguang who slashed and killed countless villains in the sea for years and months at the strategic level, but the four words of light fluttering: Longqing opens the sea.

There is no need for Colonizer 2.0 to smash the customs with a row of cannons, and a regime that likes to ban the sea in the era of cold weapons can't stand it itself after forcibly cutting off the country's foreign trade.

Huge loss of social wealth, high military spending, withering of the coastal provinces...... So the court took advantage of the time when Emperor Longqing came to power, and played a big discussion, so the people who advocated the ban on the sea suddenly realized that after paying the price of eight years of war on the southeast coast, Fujian Yuegang was opened...... The rebellion subsided......

With the opening of Fujian Yuegang, the center of gravity of the mainland's coastal trade has also moved to the south, and Zhoushan Island, which was once popular, has also been completely finished because of the government's blockage of Shuangyu Port.

In 1628, the current Zhoushan Island, according to the words of later generations, has degenerated into a small city on the 18th line - some fishermen, some farmers, plus Weisuo City, is all of Zhoushan.

The small bay where the "Debang" is stationed in Zhoushan is called "Rotten Gut Bay", and the location is in the area of the Zhoushan Cultural Park in the later generations.

This location is across the sea from the mainland, and 10 kilometers away is Ningbo Prefecture. The ocean here is narrow, the north and south sides are full of scattered islands in Zhoushan, the seaway is chaotic, the sea conditions are complicated, it is the only place for southbound ships, and of course, it is also a treasure land of feng shui for raiding houses and robbing houses.

......

Chen Huoding, the former second master of the screen village, and now the captain of the "Debang", are walking to the stern cabin after waking up. At noon, it was time for dinner, and the sailors gathered on the boat to eat with wooden bowls, and when they saw the head of the house coming, they got up to say hello.

Before Chen Huoding finished greeting here, he heard the high-pitched male duck outside the boat: "Second master, second master!" ”。 Chen Huoding looked at the boat gang and saw a man with long hands and legs, a donkey face, and a very uncoordinated body and limbs.

Although the person said that the figure was uncoordinated, but the balance was excellent, probably the skills that had been practiced on the sea boat all the year round, this person ran all the way to the boat from the shore gangplank, as if walking on the ground, the iron plate padded with rags in his hand did not move, and the large yellow croaker fillet, squid fillet, grouper fillet on the iron plate were squeaking.

Seeing the donkey-faced man with a smile on his face running towards him with good vegetables, Chen Erye, who should theoretically be smiling heroically, sneered at this time, turned around as if he didn't see this guy, turned his head and walked towards the stern.

But the donkey-faced man didn't care, he followed behind the second master with a plate, with a smile on his face, while listening proudly to the compliments of the sailors' "good fish grilled by the sub-gang", he lit up the male duck voice and began to compliment the boss: "The second master is worthy of being born in the army, and he will get up at noon after the night, good ability!" But my Ma Liu's skills are not bad, look at this plate of fish! is on the fire, second master, you are really blessed! ”

Chen Huoding rolled his eyes all the way, and when he came to the door of the stern cabin, he stopped and thought about it, then turned around helplessly and pointed to his feet: "Wait!" After speaking, he lifted the curtain and entered the house.

After a while, the second master came out of the stern cabin and sat cross-legged on the front deck. After sitting down, he looked down at the seafood teppanyaki in front of him, and then looked up at the donkey-faced man named Ma Liu opposite, shook his head, and muttered in his mouth: "Lao Tzu's house is empty!" He pulled out two bottles from his bosom.

The two bottles are one high and one short, and the words "Wahaha fruit milk" can be vaguely seen on the lower bottles, and then the second master turned the bottle upside down and sprinkled the red powder inside on the big yellow croaker in the iron plate.

The next moment, the two goods who had already been drooling began to grab the fish to eat, and while eating, they unscrewed the tall bottle with the vague "nutrition express" and poured rice wine into their mouths.
